I have bands 39 41 and 93 positive abnormal on a western blot from labcorp. From what I am reading online the results are pretty solid positive for Lyme, even though labcorp say negative. Anyone have an opinion please?.
I also have low lymphs on CD 57 score is 46.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Titusx - welcome!


If those were Igenex results - it would say 'positive' and also CDC positive.

I'm assuming you have symptoms that have you questioning Lyme disease?

This test result - backs up your symptoms - I suggest you seek out a LLMD and schedule an appt.

We can help with that. For members recommendations, start a thread: "Looking for LLMD in/near____" and fill in the blank.
Then enable your email (through "my Profile") so names can be sent to you privately. We don't post the names of the LLMD's here - for privacy reasons.

In addition to members' recommendations, you can also email me..and I will check my list and send you names of LLMD's if I have some for your area.

We encourage our new members to read through the thread at the top of the page titled: "New to Lyme?..Start Here!" It's packed full of useful information..

Hi TitusX -

I agree with Girlie - I think that's a positive result.

Because the testing is 50% inaccurate, Lyme is best diagnosed with clinical analysis so an LLMD is also going to rely on your symptom, exposure and health history to diagnose you along with any test results.

Thanks to all the responses. Yes I have lots of symptoms, Endless insomnia weird tingling headaches dizziness low BP lots of cognitive issues. Low energy muscle weakness etc etc.

Honestly I'm glad it is Lyme so I can start moving toward treatment instead of all these doctors saying "your fine". I am seeing a Lyme specialist who doesn't use antibiotics, Not sure exactly what protocol but I know clinic uses a ozone, ultraviolet and other more alternative treatments.

The Dr actually has Lyme so he seems very motivated to find a total treatment.
It's so unacceptable that I had WB two years ago and had two positive bands and 3 diff Dr's weren't interested at all in that. Which I assume clearly indicates an infection whether Lyme or not should have been investigated fuehter and treated.
Yep best health care system in the world HA!
